Hey Rondo! Shut Derrick Fischer down, please!

by Thresholder on Feb 9, 2012 2:52 PM EST

As I think about tonight, there's one thing I DO NOT want to see:

Another case of Rondo letting Fischer get off and hurt us.

Rondo SHOULD wholly own Fischer. Unfortunately, Fischer is the kind of guy who will burn you if you stop paying attention. I am still smarting from one of the '10 Finals games in which Fischer kept scoring and we lost. (Can't remember the details--my memory balks at recalling.)

I actually think Rondo could learn a thing or two about lock down defense from Avery Bradley!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

It really should not be a problem, just get a hand in his face on those long jumpers

This is what will happen in todays game

Bryant will guard Rondo and Fisher will guard Allen. This allows Bryant to sag off of Rondo (because he can’t hit open jumpers) and protect the pass and drive while being a help defender. This means unless the Celtics score and can set their defense properly Rondo will be guarding Bryant and Allen will be on Fisher. This is what happened in the 2010 finals and it worked well for he Lakers.

RONDO!

man rondo is playing fantastic tonight before i thought bynum for rondo and oneal was amazing for us and it still is a good trade for us but man he is playing like an all star tonight. I think he would benefit a lot from having a running mate on the fast break though JJ anyone? he had one of the fastest 3/4 court sprints in the draft combine for any position so maybe put him out there with rondo

I'm sorry.

But you totally butchered his name. Derek Fisher.

At least get the man's name right...

But anyways, Rondo really fucked over this game with his constant obsession over holding the ball and waiting for Ray Allen to get open. It’s annoying as shit.

I’m going to sleep, I’m fed up with that kid.

rondo

well rondo did what he does well this time but its becoming obvious he cant be out there with the starters. i think moore should be out there and split the duties with pierce of starting the offense

maybe we could send bass to LA and rondo to indiana for collison and bynum (granger to LA world pierce and goudelock to the pacers) we have a solid 4 and 5 rotations we are solid at the 2 with allen and pietrus then with collison bradley and moore manning the point we have a solid team

by JuJuan some moore on Feb 9, 2012 11:11 PM EST reply actions

So indiana would get

Bass and World Peace for Collison and Granger. No chance.

no they get rondo

world peace and goudelock

In a NY minute

We get bynum and collison for Rondo /bass ~~- Collison is way underrated, (efficiency numbers similar to Paul)~~- And Bynum would solve post issues +future. Not sure LA does it… but i would.

by P stoff on Feb 10, 2012 12:16 PM EST up reply actions

i think LA would do it

they would have PG Kobe Granger Bass Gasol
indiana might not do it though

Lakers

We can’t beat the Lakers what the hell, need to make something happen Rondo plays like sh-t he should have been hitting from the top of the key and driving to the basket. KG is lazy or just too old PP is PP hot and COLD Allen just to old……..JO, come on play someone else.

What are you talking about?

KG was battling all night and had some nice hustle plays. Ray Allen was 9/20 for 22 points and was running his defenders in to the ground. Rondo was driving all night, he just couldn’t hit the jumper. Though, Pierce is pretty streaky and JO was…less than satisfactory.
